I love seeing the Queen and I have always been a royalist.

She has got a great smile and her whole face lights up when she smiles. I told her I have been in show business 41 years successfully and she said to me that I had given a lot of people a lot of pleasure. I come from a coal-mining, working-class background. My father was a coal miner. Today is just tremendous. When you first come into show business and you get a hit record, it is the start of something. As time goes on, it just gets better. This is the best thing that I have had. It is a wonderful feeling, a heady feeling. Sometimes you just can't believe it, you think you have been dreaming. On singing privately with Elvis Presley in Hawaii in 1968: There was a Kris Kristofferson song called 'Why Me, Lord' and he would sing it continuously. Once he got hold of one that he liked he would never stop. I would try and get out of the suite, because sometimes he would stay on in Vegas, and I was having to do two shows a night, and I'd be singing with him and I'd say, 'I've got to go.

The sun's coming up and I've got to rest my voice because I've been singing all night with you.' He'd say OK, and I'd go, and just when I got to the door he'd start again. 'Uh-why me Lord, uh - what have I uh-ever done ...' We'd already done it 30 or 40 times. He didn't become worldly. He was always in his own world, and enjoying it. When that worked, fine. He wanted guys around him, wanted to create his own thing, which was a simple life. He loved to play [American] football and he had his own team. But because he was Elvis Presley , no one wanted to tackle him hard. It's one extreme to the other. I've had a lot of crosses and Bibles given to me but then one woman made a ceramic penis - she figured that's what mine looked like, I suppose. I'm a lyric man - I'm always looking for meaningful songs. Not to be a name-dropper but Frank Sinatra once told me: "Tom, you don't have to hit everything hard.

If you keep hammering everything, you're gonna hurt yourself." When I started recording, I thought I'd be able to do all kinds of records: jazz, country, dance - and I've always wanted to do a gospel album. [on his move to Los Angeles] The problem I had in the '70s was that the Labour Government got in, and the tax went through the roof. I was doing big tours in America at the time, and when I toured America in 1974 my accountant said, 'Think about not coming back, because as soon as you set foot in Britain, everything you've worked for this year will go, the Government will take it all in tax'. You had The Beatles and Stones [ The Rolling Stones ] covering American R&B, The Pretty Things , The Animals , the whole British Invasion - we were all massive fans of soul music, and Solomon's [ Solomon Burke ] influence was huge on the songs we chose. Everyone did Cry To Me, that was a staple in my live show, and If You Need Me. We copied his treatment of the songs and the way he handled himself on-stage, he was so expressive.

He would suck you right into the song, that's what you wanted to do when you sang. He had a sweetness about his voice as well, he could sing lightly, like on Just Out Of Reach (Of My Two Open Arms). [on Solomon Burke ] I first saw Solomon at the Flamingo in 1965, the first soul singer I saw live, and he was amazing. I listened to Otis Redding and Sam & Dave , but he was always the best because he had a melodic way to him, he was more like a proper singer, and you know we became friends right away. He was just such a sweet man. The next time I saw him sing, I can't remember the night club, but it was 1965 again. I went backstage and he gave me a crown and said, 'You can't be the king of rock'n'soul because I am, but you can be the Prince of Wales.' He was such a lovely, lovely man, a family man, with a great sense of humor, a great personality, and a passion for music and people.

Previously quoted by Mary Boykin Chesnut in Mary Chesnuts Civil War, edited by C. Vann Woodward (1981) “With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.” Terms related to thomas woodward: Related Phrases Tom Jones Tom Jones Nationality: Wales Executive summary: It's Not Unusual His father was a coal miner, and his Welsh family was steeped in the traditions of poetry and songs. As a boy, Tom Jones sang in his church choir, and at home his mother would pull the curtains and "announce him", and the lad would sing show tunes for his parents and sister. A ladies' man early on, Jones was 16 when he got his high school girlfriend pregnant.

They married, and have remained together ever since -- though Jones has admitted that at the height of his fame, he slept with up to 250 groupies a year. As a young man he worked at a glove factory, and later he toiled in construction. He sometimes sang at parties, and noticed that women seemed particularly entertained, and the more energetic his performance the more they seemed to love it. Soon he was performing at local night clubs, where he was discovered by the man who would be his longtime manager, Gordon Mills. His second single, "It's Not Unusual", established Jones as a star, and it has remained his signature tune. In the first decades of his long career, his other hits included "Delilah", "The Green Green Grass of Home", "Help Yourself", "Never Fall In Love Again", "What's New Pussycat", and "Without Love". In the late 1960s, Jones had a top-rated prime-time variety hour on ABC, and decades before cable fragmented the audience, many millions of fans watched every week. He became a sex symbol of almost unprecedented dimension.

During a 1968 engagement at the Copacabana Club in New York, the air conditioning was not working well and Jones, as always giving every song everything he had, was drenched in his own perspiration. Between numbers, several women in the audience offered him their cocktail napkins to wipe his face. But one woman lifted her dress, removed her underwear, and handed that to Jones on stage. He says he was flabbergasted, but he wiped his face with it, and handed the woman her underwear back. A gossip columnist was present, and after the incident was mentioned in the next day's newspaper, throwing panties onto the stage became the thing to do at Jones's concerts. When Gordon Mills died in 1986, Jones's son became his new manager, and he has overseen a resurgence in his father's career. In 1988, Jones scored a huge hit with Art of Noise , belting out a sweaty version of Prince 's "Kiss". More recent hits from the latter half of Jones' career include "Sexbomb", "Baby It's Cold Outside", and a reworking of Joe Cocker 's "Mama Told Me Not To Come".

He sang the theme for the James Bond film Thunderball with Sean Connery . Legend has it that after recording the number, including the protracted ear-smashing last note, Jones passed out. Despite the similarities between the sexy, singing Jones and the sexually provocative protagonist of the novel Tom Jones by Henry Fielding , the singer did not choose the name to cash in on his literary namesake. "Jones" was his mother's maiden name, and his own middle name. Jones drinks Dom Perignon, listens to Solomon Burke , enjoys watching boxing and playing darts, and counts Van Morrison and the late Elvis Presley as lifelong friends. Today he still tours nine months every year, and his style remains glitzy, schmaltzy, even campy. He still sings in very tight pants, still makes women swoon, and still dodges flying panties at every show.

Date: sibling About Tom Jones, OBE Sir Thomas John Woodward, OBE (born 7 June 1940), known by his stage name Tom Jones, is a Welsh singer. Since the mid 1960s, Jones has sung many styles of popular music – pop, rock, R&B, show tunes, country, dance, techno, soul and gospel – and sold over 100 million records. Jones, was awarded an OBE in 1999, and knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2006 at Buckingham Palace for his services to music.

In March 1957 Jones married his high school girlfriend, Melinda Trenchard when they were expecting a child together, both aged 16. The couple had a son named Mark who was born the month following their wedding. To support his young family Jones took a job working in a glove factory and was later employed in construction. Jones has remained married to Melinda since 1957, despite his many well publicized infidelities. His philandering once led her to beat him black and blue. She snapped after reading about one infidelity in a newspaper. She punched and kicked him, but Jones did not fight back: "I took it," Jones said. Jones has had affairs with such well-known women as Mary Wilson of The Supremes, former Miss World Marjorie Wallace and Cassandra Peterson, better known as Elvira, Mistress of the DarkPeterson claims that she lost her virginity to Jones. One affair resulted in the birth of a son. In October 1987, while on tour in America, Jones had a brief relationship with model Katherine Berkery. Three months later Berkery discovered that she was pregnant.

After a lengthy fight and DNA testing an American court ruled in 1989 that Jones is the boy's father. He flatly denied paternity for 20 years but finally admitted it in 2008. However he made no suggestion that he wanted to meet his son Jonathan Berkery.
